I believe that God is in me as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower—the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence.
Helen Keller
Do not speak unless you can improve upon the silence.
Quaker saying
The English word “silence” comes from the Latin, dēsinere, which means to stop.
Br. Curtis Almquist
A critical step in the embrace of silence and solitude is setting aside the notion that we have to be “doing something” throughout our waking days.
Richard Mahler
The first requirements of silence are to have faith and patience, and, with one’s whole heart, strength and power—to love and to hope.
St. Gregory of Sinai
The quieter you become, the more you can hear.
Ram Dass
